CCW and waist question (self.firearms)

So, peeps that ccw, where do your pants ride?

I tend to be on the hips below the beer belly range. Walking around/standing is all good and pretty concealed, provided I can find a shirt tall enough for my body, but sitting? Especially with my sedentary lifestyle makes me wonder if I'm making the right fashion choices.

Mostly appendix, but some four o'clock too.

“There’s too much identity tied up in one’s work, so that is lost [after retirement]. And then there’s the cultural script of what maleness means in in our culture, so men just won’t admit or won’t receive care for depression because of that sense that it’s somehow not what a man does.”

What use is a cog that can't cog anymore? Caring for elders is not built into our value system and not protected by our economic system.

Hell, it may be the only way to retire in a few more years.

It's crazy to think how much damage law enforcement had on the black community's moral leadership of the sixties and seventies. I guess I'd never really thought about the leadership of the generation immediately following.

Tupac absolutely had a lot of charisma and a moral authority. Shit, his name is still known around the world. It is kind of wild to think how he could have matured into that role, especially considering the influence that hip hop has been able to muster socially.

I don't mean to throw shade at anyone, but imagine the impact a prominent hip hop voice could have today with a message that went against the socioeconomic grain and sort of harkened back to some of the voices of the civil rights movement driving real progress.

All Americans, not just the black community that was hit the hardest and most violently, lost a lot to cointelpro and the state behind it.

Americans bark, but we don't bite capital's hand.

How is there fallout of the house democrats for McCarthy losing the speakership?

Ikr I thought we fixed this. I also thought it was in the northern hemisphere.

Oh, he got cut off.

In that case shooting up some cars and ramming another seems pretty ok. I mean, what else are you going to do?

This AI thing may catch on

On the phone, Musk said that he was looking at his laptop and could see “the entire war unfolding” through a map of Starlink activity. “This was, like, three minutes before he said, ‘Well, I had this great conversation with Putin,’ ” the senior defense official told me. “And we were, like, ‘Oh, dear, this is not good.’ ”

It's like the Elon India Tea Company. Strange to think we've got so many individuals that rival any sort of elected officials and that our government is becoming aware of this. Elon in particular seems to have the US over several barrels, space, battlefield communications, recharge stations, and now Twitter and AI possibly from the bottom of a k hole.

Wild, also: I forget how good the New Yorker is. That whole article was fascinating. I feel like I learned a lot and it was interesting.
